IS 6700 Fall 2008

I will teach an online sec­tion and a Mon­day evening class­room sec­tion of IS 6700 7010 in Fall 2008 at Hawaii Pacific University.

The course objec­tives will remain the same, and the course will fill degree require­ments as appropriate.

Weekly pages

These pages are linked from WebCT, and are avail­able here. They’re lists of arti­cles and top­ics I men­tioned in my sec­tions. I use Tues­days as the due dates in this course, as the f2f sec­tion meets Tues­day evenings.

Check the WebCT section’s Learn­ing Mod­ules tab and the Resources folder for addi­tional read­ings and links each week.

Syl­labus

I have posted a syl­labus for the Fall 2008 sec­tions here .

There is a writ­ten assign­ment due almost every week.

The course includes a final exam.

I rarely give mul­ti­ple choice or objec­tive exams.

I assign text­book cases as read­ing assign­ments. There are sev­eral blog arti­cles that accom­pany each case.

Web sites and services

This is a course about how orga­ni­za­tions can use tech­nol­ogy to develop sus­tain­able com­pet­i­tive advan­tage in their mar­kets. Dur­ing the course, stu­dents use sev­eral dif­fer­ent web sites and ser­vices, to develop prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence in using these technologies.

billso.com is my blog and web site, and I have been post­ing read­ings and assign­ment announce­ments there. The blog is open to the pub­lic, and can be accessed on many PDAs and mobile phones.

WebCT is my grade and assign­ment man­age­ment system.
